Command Analysis

New Jersey Devils

Current form
New Jersey looked mediocre at the end of the regular season. As a rule, the team could not put up a decent resistance to the leaders and often stumbled in matches with opponents in the playoff zone. That is why no one was surprised by the fact of the club's two away defeats in the series with Carolina. Note that the Devils first lost 1-4, and then lost 1-3, while in both cases they failed to score more than one goal.
Fortunately, upon returning to the home court, they nevertheless pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over their opponent with a score of 3:2 in overtime. However, then they had the most comfortable advantage of two goals, but they played poorly in the third segment. Due to problems with discipline, the devils were outnumbered twice, which is why they allowed their opponent to even the score.
Already in the second overtime, Shimon Nemec took responsibility, which brought New Jersey the first victory in this confrontation. However, again, Sheldon Keogh's team is still having a hard time scoring goals. This is also due, of course, to the absence of Luke Hughes and Jack Hughes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Luke Hughes, Jack Hughes and Dillon will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, New Jersey makes 29 shots on target.
- The team wins 56% of face-offs in this series.

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Caroline clearly had no intention of conceding in the third match. The team, of course, often faced problems on the road this season and often lost points out of the blue, but it seemed that such difficulties in the playoffs should take a back seat. However, now we can see that the Hurricanes still don't feel as comfortable and confident on other people's courts as they do on their own ice.
Rod Brindamore's team, of course, demonstrates an extremely reliable defensive game and remains with a minimum number of missed goals, but they don't score as many in return. But in this series, the Hurricanes are showing an incredible game in the minority and have never allowed an opponent to score in 5x4 and 5x3 formats. A lot, of course, depends on the actions of Frederick Andersen, who, by the way, is doing a great job so far.
By the way, at the post-match press conference, the club's coach praised his opponent for his excellent hockey, but at the same time noted that Karolina played poorly in attack and poorly took advantage of the moments she had.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Jesper Fast will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Carolina makes 33 shots on target.
- The Hurricanes are blocking 19 shots on average.

In the last four matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.75The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the guests
In the last three matches against New Jersey, the guests were successful in the third leg.
2.30Tip and bets
Karolina had a high-level match in the previous match, but luck was not on her side then. The Hurricanes look a class above their counterpart, so it's not surprising that even on the road they are considered clear favorites. New Jersey is also having problems offensively and is without two key players in Luke and Jack Hughes. We think that this time the hurricanes will crush their counterpart within the main time.
Prediction - Carolina's victory in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
In the matches against Carolina, the Devils show poor performance and have never been able to score more than two goals. Carolina, in turn, plays extremely tightly in defense and does not allow creating a large number of chances at their own goal. Besides, Frederik Andersen is in good shape right now.
We're betting on New Jersey's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be inconclusive and took place with a minimum number of goals scored. The teams play indoor hockey and try not to take too many risks. Karolina simply does not allow her opponent to play on opposite courses, and she scores a little herself. Based on this, we expect to see no more than five goals in the upcoming match.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.80
